If you use the find toolbar in one tab, the same information you wanted to find
will still be in the box for a different tab or if you go to a different
website. The only way to clear the find bar is to do it manually.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press Ctrl+F
2.Type in anything
3.Open a new tab

Actual Results:  
The same "FIND:" information will be in the toolbar.

Expected Results:  
The Bar should clear.

By neglect or accident, maybe, but I can't imagine why it would be a design feature.  Confirming.
